5 things that can help Virat Kohli turn around Team India's fortunes overseas

#3 Preparation

Pre-tour first-class games have not given their due. Even, what is currently followed - 16 members' side 3-day games and net sessions - is not helping either. We have seen in South Africa and England, that only after the first two tests, India got their act together. Kohli may not need as much practice, but, other mortals need some.

Agreed, the pitch may not be similar aand the opposition may not be challenging. Won't it help players to have match practice, runs and wickets under their belt? Moreover, with the clout of BCCI, can't it request its counterpart to schedule a game against a decent first-class team?

Moreover, why just practice games, whatever happened to the practice of having serious preparation camps ahead of long tours? Probably add in some batting or bowing consultants too. England's preparation for the 2012-13 tour of India is by far the best preparation for an away tour, in recent times, which obviously resulted in a memorable win for them.
